Iraqi Troops

We're winning the war on terror? Why doesn't someone tell the terrorists (and maybe even our "allies.")

Riverbend says the new Iraqi army isn’t going as smoothly as Bush and his crew portray.

Today we watched footage of Iraqi soldiers in Anbar graduating. The whole ceremony was quite ordinary up until nearly the end- their commander announced they would be deployed to various areas and suddenly it was chaos. The soldiers began stripping their fatigues and throwing them around, verbally attacking their seniors and yelling and shoving. They were promised, when they signed up for the army in their areas, that they would be deployed inside of their own areas- which does make sense. There is news that they are currently on strike- refusing to be deployed outside of their own provinces.
